That’s A Wrap
Tonight’s circumstances were hardly ordinary. Amid the threat of the coronavirus in the U.S., Ohio postponed its election and turnout appears to have been severely depressed in Illinois. Yet, things marched along largely as expected. Biden won -- and he won handily -- in all three states that voted tonight, pulling off a double-margin victory in Florida and Illinois. (We still don’t have enough of the vote in Arizona to tell you the margin there definitively, but it seems as if Biden is on track for a sizeable victory there as well.)
I won’t bore you with too much more of a recap, other than to say -- the primary for all intents and purposes is ... over, barring an unexpected development that is outside of the scope of our model. Here’s the live blog team’s headlines, and be sure to scroll for their final takeaways and to relive the live blog in all its chronological glory.
